How it Works: The Technology Split

The M9 Ultra Advantage (AI Vision):

The M9 Ultra uses the GalastarVision AI engine to scan 5 physical dice in real-time. This creates 100% transparency; players see the physical physics of the dice, which builds trust and drives repeat plays for multi-tier rewards.

The M9 Pro Advantage (Visual Merchandising):

The M9 Pro focuses on the Display Experience. Its centerpiece is a 450mm x 400mm rotating stage. This turns a standard vending machine into a “high-end gallery,” allowing you to sell high-ticket items ($50–$500+) that customers usually want to inspect from every angle before buying.

FAQ: Decision Guide

Q: Which machine has the higher ROI?

A: The M9 Ultra typically has higher daily play volume due to its gaming nature. However, the M9 Pro often has higher margins per transaction because it sells premium retail goods.

Q: Can I convert an M9 Ultra into an M9 Pro later?

A: While they share the chassis, the internal wiring for the AI Vision system and the rotating showcase are specific to each model. We recommend choosing based on your primary venue type.

Q: Which is better for designer toys (blind boxes)?

A: The Dolmart M9 Pro is the industry standard for the “Chao Wan” market, as its lanes are specifically adjustable (up to 170mm width) for collectible boxes.
